The Alexandria third sacker-man-ager was hit in the face when the ball took a bad bound, and it was necessary for somebody to pour a dipper of water over him before he could get into the battle.

ITeck was hit on his tobacco pocket in the eighth, let out a loud yell of "Ouch" and then ran spryly to first. MeElreath also suffered a fracture of his sack of Old Reliable plus but there was no real damage done. As a matter of fact nearly most of the hits llowed were hit batters, for a while and including the umpire.

Two fast double the game yesterday, terially to keep the plays featured helping ma-fans warm. "Lefty" showed his skill by striking out eight Reds during the fracas, demonstrating th.it when he tightened up. he was tight. He fanned the two last men up in the firt, with the sacks crowded and then in the seventh he whiffed another brace, with two men perched on the bags. It was nice work.

Lad Loses Both Legs "Freigthing" to Navy COLUMBIA. May 25. Two lads of Marion county not quite out of their teens named Weeks and Bass desiring to enlist in the U. S. navy and not having means sufficient to defray traveling expeses to the recruiting station in New Orleans decided to hobo their way and accordingly caught a log train of the Great Southern Lumber company for Boga-lusa.

and after arriving at that place caught a regular freight for New Orleans. No great distance had been traveled when Weeks, being unaccustomed to riding the rods fell from his lodging and suffered the mangling of both legs. He was taken into the caboose by the trainmen and carried to the Charity hospital in New Orleans where the surgeons found it necessary to amputate both injured members.

Oadmer) Clyoe Freeman Jackson's pitching ace, yesterday donned the mask anl chast protector and oaxight a full, regulation league game thereby adding' greater honors to his already Ion? list, and placing a few more alurel leaves upon his manly brows. Freeman and Tatnm had a lensrhiy argument before the game it wa just a friendly battle to see which of them would be chosen to catch, and Freeman won, because hp was rot due to play yesterday and Tatum VVS5 needed to cover first In his usual fine style. It all happened because Bill Perree has a very bad sprained ankle, in the second game Saturday at Laurel, and made worse when the automobile In which he was coming home Saturday night caught fire otl the road ana everybody had to scramble out. Freeman caught a great prime no catcher in the league had anything- or him yesterday. Not a passed ball not a stolen base not an error of any kind and caught everything that came in his direc tion, including a hard, high foul.

"Lefty" Williams did the hurling and ha had everything-, all working In great shape although early in the game he was a bit shy of control. retrained his mastery, however, and in the pinches was safe and almost Impregnable. Tt was thP first appearance hero of the Alexandria Beds and they were taken nicely in hard to the tune of 7 to ,1, most of the locals' runs coming- over on errors. Tie visiting center, fielder muffed one Mow and then fumbled another, rim resulting In both instances, and a run also followed a bad throw by the second baseman to first.
